In addition to the printed lists, we had tens of thousands of handwritten lists, photographed in different handwriting, in different lighting, and photographed. Some photos asked more questions than they answered. But in just a few hours I found about 10 people in the company who were willing to help with digitization. Together with them we started developing flows, creating templates for lists and creating instructions for them. who digitizes.” , – said Sofia Drapey, Program Manager FAVBET Tech.
